PALM HARBOR BILL STALLSLegislatorsquash group’smove towardincorporation

By DOUGLAS E. JESSMERPinellas News

ST. PETERSBURG – Though state legislatorshave quashed Palm Harbor residents’ chance to voteon incorporation in November, those who seek thevote say they won’t give up.“We want the right to vote,” said spokesman Jim

Kleyman of the Greater Palm Harbor CommunityCoalition.The coalition sought a referendum on the Nov. 4

general election ballot that would incorporate PalmHarbor, East Lake, Ozona and Crystal Springs intoone town. As an unincorporated area, Palm Har-bor’s source of municipal services, including po-lice, is Pinellas County. Coalition members werespurred because they believe they paid the countymore in taxes than they were seeing in municipalservices.

Organizers vow areturn to Tallahassee

The legislationHouse Bill 1359, nixed before it could beheard in committee in Tallahassee, would haveallowed residents of Palm Harbor, Ozona, EastLake and Crystal Springs to:� Incorporate as the Town of Palm Harbor� Provide mechanisms of municipalgovernment� Continue the services of Palm HarborSpecial Fire Control District, Palm HarborCommunity Services District, East Lake TarponSpecial Fire Control District and PinellasCounty Library Services District within townboundaries� Provide for law enforcement.

1. No more free parkingin the Trop’s lotsThat is, unless your car

holds at least four people. Oth-erwise, parking in the Tropi-cana Field lots, which was freelast year, will be $10. Remoteparking will be $5. For open-ing day, there will be a loopertrolley from Downtown park-ing to the stadium. The looperwill also run forYankees andRed Sox games.

2. Premium pricing isn’tthe only extra chargeSure, you’ll pay extra for

thoseYankees, Red Sox andCubs tickets. But if you wait tobuy tickets at the ballpark,there’s more. Add another $2to the price of a ticket, if youdecide to buy at the Trop’sticket windows.

4. The highway gods have smiled on the Rays

Interstate 275 construction at 54th Street North will not interfere withgame traffic. Repairs are ensuing through next week to repair the overpassover the southbound lanes, after a dump truck struck the overpass severalmonths ago.You can’t blame FDOT for a traffic jam Tuesday night.

5. Lots of blue and gold around the ballparkIn keeping with the team’s new name and identity, you’ll see

a new paint job inside the stadium. It won’t guarantee more winsfor the team, but it’ll look a little less drab.

ONE MORE THING. What happened to the Devil Rays?We don’t mean the name; we know that’s gone. The Florida Aquarium’s

cownose-ray touch tank remains in center field as a fan attraction, and the sameray hasn’t left the Rays’ jersey sleeves, though they’re blue and gold now.

OK, so that’s six things. Bonus!

�

3. Looking forLongoria atthird? You’llhave to waitInfielder Evan

Longoria, who hada strong spring, wassent back to theRays’ Triple-A farmclub in Durham,N.C. Willy Aybar,who the team gotfrom the AtlantaBraves, will start atthe hot corner. Theteam says he’s notready – you be thejudge.

SCHEDULE

HONDAY GRAND PRIX DRIVERS

One of the many benefitsof last week's confirmationthat the IndyCar Series and theChamp Car World Series haveunified open wheel racing inNorth America is the strongpossibility that race fans in St.Petersburg will see an ex-panded field for this year'sHonda Indy St. Pete race.

There are 26 cars for Sun-day’s race, versus 18 in 2007.

IndyCar Series officialspredicted that an additional

eight to 12 cars could be on thegrid for those IndyCar Seriesevents, like St. Petersburg,held early in 2008.

“While we do not haveconfirmation of exactly howmany of the former ChampCars teams will be running inSt. Petersburg this year, we aremaking plans for more teamsand cars in our race,” said TimRamsberger, vice presidentand general manager of theHonda Grand Prix of St. Pe-

tersburg. “We have been plan-ning for this possibility allalong and the addition of morecars may require us to adjustour schedule.”

IndyCar Series leaguefounder Tony George indi-cated that future schedules -starting as early as 2009 -would most like have approx-imately 20 races, with abouthalf of the races run on ovalsand the other half run on roadcourses and temporary street

courses, like the St. Petersburg1.8-mile, 14-turn circuit.

“In just four short years, theHonda Grand Prix of St. Pe-tersburg has quickly becomeone of the most successful andpopular races run on a tempo-rary street course in NorthAmerica and that puts us in avery strong position as futureIndyCar Series schedules aredeveloped,” said Kevin Sa-voree, managing director ofthe race.

Spring training’s over? Itjust started, didn’t it?Maybe it’s a testament to

how as we get older, time seemsto go by faster. Or maybe it’sbecause we get so occupied withother things that we forget.

But the regular seasonstarted, and it didn’t start here.Maybe it’s nature’s way of eas-ing us into baseball.

I think I’d rather have theshock treatment Opening Day athome would provide. On theroad, listening to the game onthe radio at my desk? It’s just notthe same.

I managed to get to one –count it, one – spring game as apaying customer and not asworking media. And at that, itwas a Rays game in WinterHaven against my favorite Amer-ican League team, my hometownCleveland Indians, who won’t beback in Florida for spring work-outs again. They’re one of two(maybe three, if Cincinnati can’treach a deal with Sarasota)teams to leave Florida for Ari-zona, along with the Dodgersfrom Vero Beach.

I have two spring-trainingregrets. One is that I didn’t get toa game in Bradenton, down atMcKechnie Field. It’s a greatballpark, and it’s great that myother favorite team plays there –the Pittsburgh Pirates.

Three newspapers beforenow, I had a desk at the Pitts-burgh Tribune-Review with awindow seat, overlooking PNCPark at North Shore, the ballparkESPN.com rated the best inbaseball, and could catch after-noon games without the guilt ofplaying hooky from work. That’sbecause I started work at 5 p.m.

But I grew up watching theBucs of the 1980s and early1990s, so I saw the likes ofBarry Bonds (before steroidsgave him an oversized head),Bobby Bonilla and my all-timefavorite player, Andy Van Slyke.It was great to walk outside on abreak and take in the carnival at-mosphere around Pirates games.

And I didn’t miss OpeningDay. The ballpark opened shortlyafter I started at the Trib, and Idid my level best to have OpeningDay tickets every year – which Idid, even the year after I movedto Sarasota from the ‘Burgh.

This year, I’ll be at OpeningDay, albeit at Tropicana Field. Ei-ther I’ll be working it, or I’ll bethere with the family on seasontickets. We haven’t figured thatone out yet, but if you see me in aphoto bay at the game, you’llknow what the decision was.

Gotta tell you, it’s very dif-ferent seeing a game from thewarning track at Al Lang Fieldthan from even the photo bays.First, you’re in play, so you’vegot to pay attention, lest you getbeaned by a stray ball from thebullpen or the batter’s box.

Secondly, you hear thecrowd differently. The CowbellKid, that guy with the blue hairand Viking horns who hecklesopposing is much louder on thefield. Speaking of The Kid:

To the Houston Astros’GeoffBlum, he said: “They misspelledyour jersey! There’s no L!”

To Toronto Blue Jays short-stop John McDonald: “E-I-E-I-O! More like E-I-E-I-oh-for.”

While getting a sunburn,thanks to chronic forgetfulnesswhere sunscreen is concerned,there was at least some off-fieldentertainment. Good thing theguy’s planning to be at as manyregular-season games as he canmake.Douglas E. Jessmer is editor ofthe Pinellas News. E-mail him [email protected].

The “Tailgate Top,” in-vented by a St. Petersburgwoman, is a line of speciallydesigned sealing lids forcanned beverages.

The design prevents unusedportions of beverage containedwithin a can from becomingflat, while also protecting thedrinks from contaminants atthe same time.

Hope humbly then; withtrembling pinions soar;

Wait the great teacherdeath, and God adore.

What future bliss, he givesnot thee to know,

But gives that hope to bethy blessing now.

Hope springs eternal in thehuman breast:

Man never is, but alwaysto be blest:

The soul, uneasy and con-fin’d from home,

Rests and expatiates in alife to come.

-- An Essay on Man,byAlexander Pope

The phrase “hope springseternal” has been usedto announce the start of

baseball season longer than Ihave been on this planet. Aquick Google search revealedthat the words were usedtogether 55,700 times, just inthe last few years.

Not bad if you comparethat with 3.48 million times forbaseball and hotdogs.

So how did three wordsfrom a line written by an 18thcentury satirical poet, buried online 95 of a four part epistle,each of which is hellishly long,become the opening line ofnearly every sports columnist inthe world every spring?

My exasperated Englishteachers passed me in theirclasses if I promised to neveragain utter the words, themeaning of which was trulyonly known to God.

Several sources say theconnection is the poem "Caseyat the Bat,” written in 1888 byErnest Thayer, a humor colum-nist for the San Francisco Ex-aminer. It was the last columnhe wrote before leaving the Ex-aminer.

Thayer graduated fromHarvard in 1885, where he waseditor of the Harvard Lampoon.His classmate and fellow Lam-pooner was William RandolphHearst, who hired Thayer at theExaminer as a baseball writer.

Anyway, buried there online 6 of that famous baseballpoem, “hope which springseternal in the human breast”

...the outlook wasn't bril-liant for the Mudville Nine thatday;

The score stood four totwo, with but one inning moreto play,

And then when Cooneydied at first, and Barrows didthe same,

A sickly silence fell uponthe patrons of the game.

A straggling few got up togo in deep despair. The rest

Clung to that hope whichsprings eternal in the humanbreast;

They thought, if only Caseycould get but a whack at that -

We'd put up even money,now, with Casey at the bat.

This will be the 11th sea-son for the Rays since theiropening day in 1998, five yearsto the day after Potter Mediapurchased this paper.

Just like the Rays, hopessprings eternal that we have abetter year than before. Theirrecord over the years has notyet been good, but that’s past,and every year the slate iswiped clean.

We should all hope thatbaseball just as life will get bet-ter with age and wisdom, tem-pered with reasonable goals.So, go Rays!

“We are a donor community,”Kleyman said in the coalition’sformal response Monday. “Wegive more taxes back to PinellasCounty than we directly receiveback to our community. We canmore effectively, efficiently andpassionately govern ourselvesthan the county can.”

The coalitionassembled apanel to draft afeasibility study,which was pre-sented to the leg-islature. At therequest of StateSen. MikeFasano, R-NewPort Richey, the coalition gatheredmore than 1,300 signatures on apetition to support the legislation.

Rep. PeterNehr, R-TarponSprings, showedthe coalition aletter from thechairman of theGovernment Ef-ficiency andAc-coun t ab i l i t yCouncil that saidlegislation authorizing the No-vember vote will not be heard inthis legislative session.

The chairman, State Rep.Frank Attkisson, R-St. Cloud,said the council would not hearthe bill because of the “uncer-tainty of the property tax situationin Florida and a remaining de-cline of the housing market, aswell as an overall financial strainon the state’s budget.”

“In my opinion,” Attkissonsaid, “this is not the right time topass this type of legislation.”

Kleyman responded: “Are we,as residents of our community,with all access to information onour projected revenues and ex-penses, facts on taxes we currentlypay and amounts that are returneddirectly to our community, withcomparisons in services providedto our community versus those inthe surrounding community, to betrusted with this vote?”

“Apparently,” he continued,“someone in the Legislature, notRep. Nehr but someone more sen-ior, thinks that we aren’t smartenough, aren’t concerned enough,aren’t righteous enough to takemore control over our local gov-ernment and our communities.”

Nehr, who sponsored the billthough he said he had no opinionto Palm Harbor’s incorporation,saidAttkisson’s letter was not spe-cific to Palm Harbor, and was“made to address any area inFlorida whomay want to incorpo-rate.”

Nehr and Fasano said theywould sponsor the legislation un-less it imposed a greater tax bur-den on Palm Harbor-area resi-dents.

Attkisson’s letter was bol-stered by correspondence Nehr

received from an analyst for theLegislative Committee on Inter-governmental Relations (LCIR),a joint House-Senate committee.

“The estimated budget in thePalm Harbor study is one-fifth theaverage amount reported by 10cities of similar size to Palm Har-bor,” Senior Legislative AnalystChuck Hungerford wrote. “Ouranalysis suggests that the City ofPalm Harbor would need to gen-erate more in revenues or reduce,or possibly eliminate some gov-ernment services identified in thisfeasibility study.”

Nehr said the Palm Harborcoalition “did raise some pointsthat may have changed the staffanalysis and this may be looked atin the future.”

Kleyman said in the coalition’sresponse that Nehr must insist thelegislation be placed on the nextLCIR agenda, and that Hunger-ford be presented with the coali-tion’s response.

“We are not asking the Legis-lature to create a new municipal-ity,” he said. “Rather, we are ask-ing the Legislature to give thecitizens of north Pinellas unin-corporated areas the right to voteon incorporation.”

“We promised Rep. Nehr thatwe could incorporate and operatea municipality with the revenueswe would receive at projectedlevels after the impact ofAmend-

ment 1,” Kleyman said. “Therenever was a need to raise taxes.”

Coalition: Analysis was offThe coalition says the 10 cities

Hungerford cited are Plantation,Deltona, Sunrise, Lakeland, Mi-ami Beach, Pompano Beach,Palm Bay, West Palm Beach,Clearwater and Miramar.

Kleyman said in the coalition’sresponse that the Legislature’sanalysis does not consider the sub-stantial differences between thosecities and Palm Harbor, and is a“fundamentally flawed approach.”

The group points to Lakeland,which has its own electric utilitycompany, generating more than$340million in revenues and $312million in expenditures. Kleymansaid a more valid approach is “tomore closely reflect the revenuesthat the proposed incorporationarea would receive and the serv-ices it would provide.”

“The estimated expendituresprojected for Palm Harbor wouldbe considerably less than theother 10 municipalities analyzedfor comparison in the study,”Kleyman said. “Our analysis con-cludes what we have been pro-moting all along, that Palm Har-bor would be ‘City Light’which,when translated, would not di-rectly supply similar services asthose stated in the other munici-palities.”

Those services, he said, are al-ready provided by the county,taxed separately or privately pro-vided – such as police and fireprotection, and water and sewerservice.

No mention was made by anystaff analysis that the coalition’sprojected expenditures wereflawed, miscalculated or lacking,the response continued, addingthat the Florida Office of Eco-nomic and Demographic Re-search reported in late Februarythat “with regard to revenues, wefound the submitted estimate tobe adequate and we have noreservation with the informationsubmitted.”

Kleyman said the coalition iscertain that the Legislature’sanalysis was flawed, “and that wecould have convinced Hunger-ford, his staff and House mem-bers of this, given enough time. Inthe end, we received the analysistoo late in the legislative process,and wish that Hungerford hadsubmitted his analysis sooner.”

Coalition will continueThe coalition, Kleyman said,

will counter objections and legallimitations that may postpone thevote to incorporate.

“The coalition is committed tocomplete transparency in its dis-closures and partnerships,” he said.

“Incorporation, as we proposeit, will mean less government,more efficient government andbetter representation for the towncitizens,” he said. “This is a Re-publican goal at its core.”

Kleyman said the coalitionwill return to Tallahassee nextyear to try again.

“I sincerely hope that Rep.Nehr, or whomever is elected torepresent us in the Florida House,commits to sponsoring this billagain,” he said.

Jr., 53, of St. Petersburg was driving hispickup northbound on the Bayway when hestruck Timothy O. Wood, 24. Police sayWood was walking along the east shoulder,outside of the travel lanes.Dean was charged with DUI manslaugh-

ter, DUI property damage, and leaving thescene of a serious-injury crash.Dean continued driving northbound to

the entrance of Palma Del Mar, where helives. He then drove off the east side of theroad, through several bushes, then crossedthe entrance road and struck the plantedcenter median. After that, he crossed theexit road, turned around, crossed the roadagain, and came to rest in the center median.Police initially treated the Palma Del

Mar incident as a DUI crash, because theydidn’t know about the pedestrian accident.After authorities got the call about thepedestrian, responders found his body alongwith pieces of a vehicle they say was Dean’struck.

ST. PETERSBURG

After 83 years of springtraining and minorleague baseball games,

Al Lang Field awaits its fate.The ballpark hosted its final

game last Friday when theTampa Bay Rays played theCincinnati Reds.

Both teams plan to leavetheir 2008 Grapefruit Leaguehomes. The Reds are looking atArizona, and the Rays will trainin Port Charlotte, leaving bothSt. Petersburg and Sarasotawithout a spring team. And theRays plan to raze the ballpark tomake room for their proposedcanvas-roof, open-air waterfrontstadium, set to open in 2012.

Lang, who was the mayorof St. Petersburg, is also knownto fans as “Mr. Baseball.” Thefirst 6,500 fans through thegates received an Al Lang Fieldcommemorative poster. One fantore a banner off the wall for asouvenir.

Debby Deacon of St. Pe-tersburg said she came out be-cause it was “a great day for

baseball.” She said she hasmixed feelings about tearingdown the stadium.

“It is the end of an era,” shesaid, “but I can see the line ofthinking, the needs for the city.”

Deacon said she has beencoming to the stadium for sev-eral years and saw many teamsplay there.

The Songfellows barber-shop quartet sang the National

Anthem, followed by a KC-135refueling plane flyover fromMacDill Air Force Base. Lang’sclosest living relatives, great-nephews John and Hugh Fagen,threw the first pitch.

Bob Carli of Seminole, aRays usher for two years, be-lieves it’s a shame for the city tolose part of its history.

“I brought my four kids tomany games here,” Carli said,

“and it holds a lot of memories.”Dave Thompson from

Treasure Island took the day offand picked up his son, Jack, 4,from school to watch the finalgame. Jack wanted to play ballinstead of watch it, though.Standing in a ramped walkway,Jack repeatedly threw a tennisball against the wall, catching itwith his baseball glove, andtossing it to his dad.
